Lieutenant General Philip H. Sheridan

companied by his aide de-camp, Colone
Blount. The general left Chicago Satur
day night, and the temperature of the stutfy
sleeping car was so much hotter than the
hurricane deck of mule way back in thu
summer of '63, that the generals temper
wasn't improved much by the journey.
He registered at the Burnet, and aftel
break fasting, smoking cigar and scanning
the morning papers, in compony with
| Colonel Blount, he embarked in the rat
| ting ambulance attached to the Newpor
Barracks, and was pulled at a mule tro
across the sizzling bridge to the Newpor
station. Here the commandment mixed
several summer drinks, a not unimportan
element in which is a bunch OF Odorou:
mint, and after General Sheridan's temper
ature slid down to a comfortable point, the
ambulance was again called for, and ht

NO ARRESTS WITHOUT WARRANTS

Globe Dem ocrat.
When the case of Clark Thomas was
tried yesterday morning in the criminal
court, officer Spohnemann, who was cut
while attempting to arrest the negro, testi-
fed that he had no warrant to arrest him.
When the officer had finished his testi-
mony Judge Normile called him up and
read him a little lecture, telling him that he
had nc right TO arrest person unless he
had warrant for him, or unless the of
Tense for which the man was wanted was
committed in the officers presence. Judge
Normile also gave the same news to re-
porter who was present. remsrking that the
police board should instruct policemen in
regard TO arrests, AID that they should
never arrest unless they saw an offense
committed or had a warrant Under this
view of the law the work of the depart
ment. the police say, will be very seriously
impeded, as the vast majority of criminals
arrested are arrested without warrants, and
great Lumber who are found guilty of Of.
fenses are arrested at first on suspicion.

THE SCORCHING HEAT.

A great number of people, when reading
Of the terrible fatality'in eastern cities from
heat wonder why people in Kansas cite
are not similarly effected. At times whel
most deaths are reported the thermometer

Is recorded in the gpater part Of Kansas
Yet 1t is seldom death is reported in
Kansas from heat There are two causes
for this difference in the loss of life in the
Two sections from heat. One is the preva
3enoe of winds In Kansas. 1t is
seldom that cool, refreshing breezes are
missed even in the hottest weather.
Another reason, our nights are cooler and
buildings do not become heated through,
but the accumulated heat of the day is
counteracted by the cool nights 1t makes
no difference how oppressive the heat may
be in the day time, the mornings
are always cool and refreshing This is
ct so in eastern sections of the country.
Last Sunday the thermometers in this city
I'M arked from ninety five to one hundred In
Ithe shade and no deaths were reported. At
Dfncinna.i, with about the same tempera-
fure, large number of deaths were re-
ported from heat And Monday mo1nins
tie re was cool and refreshinS Freezes here;
eSu Ii vas fot tie case at Cincinnati. The
Gazette of Monday morning says: "All
the night the thermometer sinks but few
degrees, and the morning finds the city
bu a few degrees cooler than when the
blazing gun sank to rest the night before.
This morning at 3 o'clock the stone front
NJ the Commercial Gazette office was I'm.
co mfortably hot to the touch Of the hand,
and the iron post that supports the corner
lamp was so warm that one withdrew his
ha nd at once. This shows that the heat OF
tn day is not dispelled with the falling of
might, and that the heat absorbed by the
$50 ne and iron and brick of the city during
the blazing day does not cool off before the
sun of the next morning starts in to fire
the m up again" If the heat here kept up
al light with only two or three degrees
change, the houses in Wichita would soon
be come like steaming furnaces and unin
d urable and deaths here from exhaustion
would be as numerous as in the east. But
thanks for our refreshing breezes, Kansas
people go through one hot day and on the
mo rning of the next day they are recup
erated and refreshed for the battle again.

The brutal wretch in Arkansas who
whipped his step-son and then tied him to
stake and left him to die in the hot sun,
has been overtaken by the neighbcrs and
riddled with bullets. Served him right
will be the public verdict. 1t is safest to
wait for the law to take its course, and in
country governed by law no other doc
trine should be taught; but there does seem
to be times when justice is satisfied to exc
cute without waiting for the laws delay
The wicked brute who tied his step-son
and left the sun and starvation to torture
and murder him, was lower than the bar
barian. He was fiend, maddeued and
without human feeling. He is dead.-Star.

Washington, August H--Another
frightful accident occurred on the Balti-

which is due here about 6 p. M, was
rounding into the 'Yn at rate of speed
approximating forty-fve miles on hour,
tbe engineer discovered that the air
brakes would not work. Before the en-
glne could be slackened up the train
had left the track and went crashing
into building which stood near. The
scene OF the accident is one OF the utmost
desolation. Scarcely piece OF the en-
gine can be recognized. Several care
are entirely demolished. The signal
tower is total wreck, and two houses
are converted into piles of ruined build
ing material. 1t is impossible to ascer-
tain at this writing just
what the casualties are. The
engineer and fremen are dead and
several of the passengers ssid
to have lost their lives. At least twent5
are seriously injured. Il is believed tha
there are many more under the wreck,

Itis somewhat surprising that the

are to be commended for having enough
backbone and enough regard for the

say that this unconstitutional law shall

this scheme to evade payment of taxes,
or does it speak from ignorance? The
